R Reticuli is a Mira variable star in the southern constellation Reticulum. It is an aging red giant star on the asymptotic giant branch[5] with a stellar classification that varies between M4e to M7.5e,[6] being hottest near maximum visual magnitude.[9] The brightness of the star varies between apparent visual magnitudes 6.35 and 14.2[4] with an average period of 281.08±0.58 d.[10] The mean maximum magnitude is 7.57 and the mean minimum magnitude 13.80.[10]

Although this star was also assigned the variable star designation S Reticuli, this designation is no longer in use.[4]
